Time to get out of Google Podcasts for anyone that is still using the service.

Another service that I didn't know google even offered until they announced it was dying. There are so many sources that podcast apps can pull from that we don't need half as many as we have.

I actually really enjoy it. It's my go to no frills podcast app that isn't paired with music or other extra stuff

I used podcast addict. It does what I need it to do.

podcast addict is fantastic, I tried a lot of different options before settling on it

It does what you need it to do because it does everything. Podcast Addict is one of the most feature rich apps.

I now use pocket cast , it's similar with its simplistically but still different.

I've been using AntennaPod and it is no frills and works flawlessly.

Podcasts are just mp3s (or whatever other audio format like ogg). Authors/pod casters should just host them on their site and be done with it. Why let some other company take a lion share of your ad profit. We need less centralized services and more distributed services. Use lemmy or mastodon to promote them. :)

There is value in aggregate discoverabilty via these sites. They also post to all of them not just one. Podcast advertising is dying across the board.
